In Windows 7, I hate the taskbar grouping (takes 2 clicks to navigate to programs if you have multiple instances running), but once disabled you lose the whole pinned-icon thing in that the icon moves around based on how many programs you have open and where. It sucks. So, given the odd coupling of widescreen displays with the vertical-scrolling, center-focused internet, I've found my screen real estate at the edges to be much less valuable. I had it on the right, but then I couldn't just mouse over to the far right to start scrolling. (The scroll bar is aligned just inside the right-docked taskbar. I ended up clicking the taskbar a bunch, not the scroll bar.) So I'm trying it on the left, where I never previously needed to mouse to the far left screen edge and thus am not required to use as precise trackpad navigation. I'm only 2 days in. Review so far? I don't hate it.
